Biography
Andrew Tyrie was born in Rochford, Essex, United Kingdom on 15 January 1957. He graduated from Trinity College in 1979 and worked for British Petroleum and as an economist for the EBRD before attempting to enter politics in the 1990s as a UK Conservative Party member. In 1997, he was elected as the MP for Chichester, and he managed Ken Clarke's campaigns in the 2001 and 2005 leadership elections. He was despised by Prime Minister David Cameron for changing his views on climate change and for opposing airstrikes against the Islamic State, and Cameron had him sit on the backbench. In 2013, he was seen as the most powerful backbencher at the House of Commons, but he decided not to run for re-election in 2017.
